Beaners look to go Jew to stop Trump.

[Down1]

Donald Trump and his racially charged rhetoric may be divisive on many levels. But the Republican presidential candidate has been a catalyst for uniting two, seemingly disparate groups: Mexicans and Jews.

U.S. residents of Mexican descent, feeling besieged by Trump’s attacks on their culture and ancestral homeland, are ramping up ties to American Jewish networks and emulating Jewish models of political activism, including the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. And many Jewish activists are eager to help.

mexican gang fight at atlanta festival

jew lawyer sues and wins settlement from event host

http://www.dailyreportonline.com/id=1202761442555/Settlement-Ends-Suit-Over-Fatal-Brawl-at-Undergrounds-Latino-Fest?slreturn=20160603123214

The children of a man who died after a gang-related brawl at Underground Atlanta during the 2010 Festival Peachtree Latino have settled their claims with the attraction's management and a now-defunct security company. The confidential settlement included the claims of another man, a relative of the children, who was beaten during the attack by members of the Vatos Locos gang.

After the brief but intense attack, 21-year-old Jorge Rosales died at Grady Hospital from a stab wound to the chest. Eight people, including two juveniles, were arrested after the incident and charged with crimes including aggravated assault, conspiracy, weapons charges and violations of Georgia's gang statute.

"The case has been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties," said Gray, Rust, St. Amand, Moffett & Brieske partner Nicole Leet, who represented Underground Atlanta's owner and management companies, CV Underground LLC and Underground Management LLC, along with firm colleagues Michael Rust and J. Skye Wellesley.

Plaintiffs attorney Melvin Hewitt Jr. of Isenberg & Hewitt said the settlement was hammered out as the case was preparing for trial.

Hall Booth Smith partner Jeffery Saxby, who defended security company IPC International Corp. with firm partner John Hall, said "there was full denial of liability on our behalf," but declined to go into detail.

Attorneys said a key dispute involved defense claims that Rosales was himself involved in another gang, MS 13, also known as Sur 13.

"We absolutely denied that contention," said Hewitt, whose co-counsel included firm colleague Hilary Hunter and Deitch & Rogers' attorneys Gilbert Deitch, Andrew Rogers, Kara Phillips and W. Michael D'Antignac.

"Jorge Rosales and his family—12 or 14 of them, including little kids—were going to the Latino Festival, a family event," said Hewitt. "The evidence would have shown that Vatos Locos went there looking for a fight."

Leet said the defendants argued that they could not have prevented the incident "because no matter what the security was, it was a gang fight. Underground hired IPC, but this was a special event, so the security plans had to be approved by the city of Atlanta Police Department."

According to court filings, a group of young men—later identified as Vatos Locos members—exchanged words with one or more members of the family at the festival, perhaps because some of the Vatos Locos were "checking out" one of the young women with the family.

A defense filing said that security personnel had been watching the Vatos Locos group, but that a fight between 12 to 15 members of both groups broke out.

"It happened very quickly and it was over very quickly," said Leet.

According to plaintiffs' filings, the gang members attacked Rosales and also assaulted his brother, Sergio Rosales, and their uncle, Luis Santoyo.
